Abstract
These data suggest that ischemia plays an important role in the pathogenesis of HFmrEF. We could therefore hypothesize that patients with HFmrEF are a heterogeneous group consisting of a subgroup of patients with HFpEF that, following an acute event, could have experienced a reduction of ejection fraction (EF) and of a subgroup of patients with HFrEF that, due to the positive effect of therapeutic strategies, could have improved at least part of the left ventricle EF: this group has also been recently been classified as HFrecEF (Heart Failure with Recovered Ejection Fraction).
